Texas Basketball vs. VCU: Preview and keys to victory

The Texas basketball team will look to bounce back after they dropped their second game in a row on Nov. 30, with a 62-59 home loss against the Radford Highlanders.

Texas basketball welcomes the VCU Rams to the Frank Erwin Center on Dec. 4 (Wednesday night). VCU was a team that head Texas basketball coach Shaka Smart coached from 2009-2014.

Radford and VCU share some similarities. Both are universities in Virginia and both men’s basketball programs are coached by former Smart assistants.

Radford’s head coach Mike Brown was an assistant on Smart’s staff from 2009-11 and VCU’s head coach Mike Rhoades coached under Smart from 2009-14.
